supported by the Iredell County Fire Marshal’s Office. The role of the Fire Marshal is to
assist the county volunteer fire departments in fire protection activities, perform public
fire prevention education, and complete fire inspections in commercial and public
buildings. The Fire Marshal is also tasked with assisting the county volunteer
departments in firefighting activities, and is responsible for fire cause and origin
investigations as well as the coordination of investigation efforts with local and state law
enforcement officials.
